It's that time of year again! Well it was technically yesterday (oops) but as you can tell I haven't been very active here lately. But I have some plans for the future so it will go ahead and I think me posting about once a week is still going pretty well...
But yay my blog is two!!! Little baba blog taking it's first step to becoming something, at least I think that. Well it is definitely something and has been for a while now! In the lasst year my blog has changed theme a couple of times, I've changed style and uped my game a bit, taken things more seriously and also less so. I've improved my editing ridiculously and definitely have more of a handle with my camera. Things are going well!
But if you were here last year for my blogiversary you'll know that I do a bloopers post (if you were than thank you for staying here for 1 year plus!!) . Last year there were 120 of you following me and now it's up to almost 380 of you guys following! Of course it's not just about followers though I have been more active in the community (though not in the last month I do apologise), and I've found inspiration and growth though blogging these past two years.
When I started this blog back in 2013 I never thought it would become such a bit part of my life but I know this time next year it will probably be even bigger in my life. So thank you all for being a part of this, even if you're jsut reading this and not stopping by any more!
Enough soppyness onto what you're really here for! The links under the photos lead to the blog post.

Just to point out there is a lot of editing in some of these pictures of the buildings with the eclipse. I had a lot of photos with very white backgrounds and decided to play around a bit.
Hello again pretty people!I'm still here and still going with posting, only like 3 months until eams are over now and I can get on with things here (yes I am counting down, can you tell?).
On Friday during the solar eclipse I was in Sheffield on an open day/interview thing and I was initially devastated by the fact it was cloudy when in face the photos actually turned out pretty well. I also took some photos around Sheffield, some of which i have edited some eclipse photos onto.
I then went to Manchester to see my sister and do some shopping. i did take some photos thent oo which will be up in some time. I plan to go back over some of my photos from the last few years soon and edit them all so I can do some photo posts. That's the plan anyway.

Well I listened to all of Froot today and I quite like it. It hasn't grown on me yet but I love love love immortal. I think it does all sound quite similar but with all of Marina's songs the lyrics are golden so that really what I listen for.
Also sorry I've been gone... I'll probably only be posting about once or twice a week for the next couple of months as my exams have just started and they end in about 3 months time. The work is getting pretty hard and I need to just focus on myself and work, and though I love blogging I dno't have as much time for it as I used to unfortunately. But this summer I plan to go big with things. I'm travelling a lot and I want to start travel blogging a little bit. Photo diaries of summer days and lots of outfits. Just doing a bit ,ore with my blog. And hopefully starting things like youtube (which i know I said I'd start but I don't really have the time or energy at the moment). But as it's my last year in school before uni I want to make the most of it so I can get into my top choice.
I'm still here though! Just in the background a bit. I'm quite sad I haven't been able to visit other people's blogs that much, I tend to just check instagram so I still see some bits.

No this blog post does not have anything to do with surfing. But I found a quote earlier saying "You can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf". Which is definitely a life motto to carry through. There will always be waves in life, big or little, that have a positive of negative affect on you. But you gotta learn to surf them. Even if you seem really crap to start with and you fall of your board all the time and can't really stand up a lot, with practice you're bound to get better and you can surf even the biggest of waves. Of course there are always going to be waves too big for you to surf and they'll knock you down but you can't let them drown you, you just get back on and keep going. Sometimes they hit you from somewhere you least expect and completely knock you sideways but again, just keep going.
I'm dong deep talks tonight guys. Some profound things randomly spill out of my brain when I'm very tired and slightly emotional (which is pretty much all the time at the moment I must say), maybe I should put that to use somewhere, not quite sure where I would though.
Today I am sharing another outfit post, I was going to do a youtube video but I soon realised how complicated what I was trying to do was and I gave up and got frustrated. I'll try something different and simple soon. I do have one video filmed which I will edit and upload soon, when I have the courage to (that's more deep talks). I definitely want to do the whole youtube thing but I might just leave the beauty and fashion out of that to start with and do something different with it, because I want to be more than just fashion and photography because I am interested in more than just that. But I'll let you know more about that when I do that.

Well my internet browser wants me to change instagram to pentagram but there we go. Happy March! And Happy St David's day! I have fond memories of the start of march dressing in my traditional little Welsh girl outfits as a kid and then some really bad school Eisteddfod later in life. But now I do nothing for it and it's a little bit strange to be honest. Maybe I can next year, but I might be half way across the world then so that would be a bit odd.
Well I am doing something I guess, I am posting my instagram photos from February. Hurrah! It's been an odd month, February always seems to be a bit of a limbo month that's over very very quickly. Not too much has happened but I've managed to take a lot of photos which is always great.
